Design and Experimental Demonstration of Ultrabroadband Silicon Optical Amplifiers

目前电子工业的成功依赖于硅化合物的低成本、高性能和柔韧性。硅基光学为光学与电子的单片集成提供了一个新的平台。在这个项目中，一个由非线性光学和硅化光子学先驱组成的多学科团队构建了下一代宽带硅光放大器，这将为新的低功耗、宽带、高速和超小型光电器件打开大门。该项目带来的技术进步将为澳大利亚未来的商业投资提供关键能力，并加强澳大利亚在数万亿美元半导体产业中的利益。

The current success of the electronics industry rests on pillars made from the low cost, high performance and flexibility of silicon compounds. Silicon-based optics provides a new platform for the monolithic integration of optics and electronics. In this project, a multi-disciplinary team consisting of pioneers of nonlinear optics and siliconized photonics build a next-generation broadband silicon optical amplifier which can open the door to a new low-power, wide-bandwidth, high-speed and ultra-small optoelectronic devices. The technological advances arising from this project will provide Australia with critical capabilities for future commercial ventures and strengthen Australia's stake in the multi-trillion dollar semiconductor industry.
